Photographer's Note

..during an after lunch siesta, while just walking around in that beautiful hotel in merzouga, i heard a melody!

It was something usuall to hear rythms and melodies almost all day long coming out of cedu, cymbals, guitars and many other handmade instruments! music was something like a source of joy and expression for those people who lived there...i really loved it! Don't miss these exceptional moments..

Hello Yiannis. The guitar player. In fact, a beautiful scene, when one considers that the Moroccans do not like to be photographed. Interesting composition and beautiful colors. An interesting detail is the mud wall of the house. Rgds, Wolfgang.

Hello Yannis,
This is a very fine composition. The musician is well placed towards the side and the line of carpets going through the whole picture is a superb feature. The colours receive a fantastic intensity from the contrast with the grey wall. This is a remarkable photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Yanni,
a really fascinating composition rich of elegance and atmosphere. I like the grey wall, the window in the middle and the guy, with guitar and colored dresses on teh right side. TFS
Nice evening
Antonio

Geia sou Yiani,
What a fine and lively street portrait this is! The framing and the structuring function of the colours is great - graphical there's a lot to like here too.
Fab work!
Best regards from Rotterdam,

Hola Jiannis, This is a beautiful, interesting, colourful & a composition that is well balanced, maybe a little unusual but certainly works very well. A lovely scene well captured, compliments, bravo

Hi Yiannis
A great photo of this guitarist. You have composed the scene brilliantly and you weren't afraid to position the window in the centre. The colourful rugs and cushions are interesting details. Cheers, Marlene

Hello Yiannis
My compliments for this compo! I like how you've framed the scene, with all the elements well positioned in the frame. Interesting contrast between the grey tone of the facade and the blue djellaba.
Well Seen!

Hi Yiannis,magnificent and essential composition,taken out of the desert restaurant close to the dunes.Spectacular solution,a lot of colors in a black and white background and a top sharpness too.A great memory to me!! Have a nice weekend and thanks,LUCIANO

Hello Yiannis,
A fine capture of this guitar player. You have composed the shot well placing the man off centre and making a focal point of the window. The wall makes a good neutral backdrop emphasising his colourful costume. The textures in the wall are an added bonus.

I really loved this. It looks so simple but very attractive. Your POV and and shallow perspective are perfect and works very well. Colorful details shines on the nearly colorless wall. Very well done my friend. Have a nice WE. Regards,

Coming across this scene would be every photographer's dream! The composition is fantastic - so simple, yet perfect (the door, the where and the way the street musician sits, lovely horizontal line stretching across the frame), great colours against the gray wall and gray-looking sand. Congratulations and thank you for sharing!

Great combination of portrait and snap shot indeed.
Clear and so vivid color touch is so nice.
Sharpness and clear color are also remarkable.
His expression is attractive. Thanks for your sharinig with finest work and have a nice Sunday evening!
Best regrads,

hello Yiannis
very, very beautiful picture!Of course, I love the man and his superb typical clothes, but I also love the simplicity of the picture,the long line of blankets on the step, and the window, giving a graphical effect.The colors are splendid.Magnificent!I add it in my theme about Africa.
Regards
Pascale

Hello Yiannis - I've not seen your gallery before and I have enjoyed browsing through some creative and unusual work. I have chosen this shot to comment on because of the striking composition and clever colour. The fabrics and musician are place so carefully on the grey backcloth and the central window is balanced well by the figure. A remarkable image extremely well managed. Best regards Rosemary

Hello Yiannis! Sometimes it is the title that attracts me and I heard a melody before I opened this photo. What a very nice composition with the natural background color of the wall and these funny and also very attractive looking decorations hanging down. I love his foot position holding very still for this photo and how he looks into your camera. These are the photos I wished that I had in my own collection. Absolutely great. Best wishes, Barbara.

Hi Yiannis. Exquisite photo in every way:composition, sharpness, colour,light. I love how the colourful band of rugs takes us across the composition to the very colourful musician. A delight for the eyes and for you also for the ears. I love Moroccan music, especially the Gnawa style. Best wishes. Klaudio.

What a lovely composition!; all the elements in the right places.. I really like the texture n the color of the wall that is a great BG for the vivid colors of the FG.. an excellent job.. tfs
Best regards, Atousa

Ciao Yannis,
framing is beautiful, the scene is also wonderful with the young musician and his typical colorful dresses and a fabulous BG with the central window, the cut is very nice...complimenti,
good evening,
Valter

hey, yiannis!
this shot really caught my eye; the purity in the composition, the line of carpets, the subtle details, the vivid colours against the grey wall, the window placed in the centre...
to me it is like the visualisation of a melody. :)
keep on capturing these exceptional moments!
regards, olivia

Kalimera Yiannis,
This is a very well composed and framed photo.Neutral and colourless wall formed a very nice base and created a nice contrast for the colourful rugs and the dress of the musician.This is an artistic and amazing photo with great clarity.Very well seen and captured.
TFS and best regards,
Emin

hi yiannis,
this is a stunning picture, superbly spotted and composed by yourself. the placement of the figure to the side is perfect and helps draw the viewers attention to the window in the centre and the incredible colours and textures of the cloth along the stone seat, the plain colour tones of the wall really help make the figure and cloth stand out wonderfully well. it is a visually stunning image worthy of all the comments you have received.
congratulations,
brian

You have combined everything in one to bring out this beautiful image. The guitar player is well placed in the image. Nice color contrast between his clothes and the gray wall. He looks very comfortable sitting on the cement bench. The window in the center is a bonus. Excellent composition with colors, sharpness and atmosphere.

An amazing portrait of the young musician. A well balanced composition where the grey wall provides a nice contrast to the man and the carpet. The picture conveys well the feeling of something genuine. Excellent work:) TFS. Enjoy your Sunday.

This is a harmonized photograph completely as a work, so it's impressive to see color tone/combination, arrangement and some elements of grey wall, tasteful window, long mat and a guitarist wearing colorful clothes.

this image is so minimalistic on the one hand but so full of detailles on the other hand. The position of the boy on the far right is excellent! He and his belongings give such a nice contrast to the grey house and window.
